ghairon pe khul na jae kahin raaz dekhna
meri taraf bhi ghamza-e-ghammaz dekhna

udte hi rang-e-rukh mera nazron se tha nihan
is murgh-e-par-shikasta ki parwaz dekhna

dushnam-e-yar tab-e-hazin par giran nahin
ai ham-nafas nazakat-e-awaz dekhna

dekh apna haal-e-zar munajjim hua raqib
tha sazgar tala-e-na-saz dekhna

bad-kaam ka maal bura hai jaza ke din
haal-e-siphar-e-tafraqa-andaz dekhna

mat rakhiyo gard-e-tarik-e-ushshaq par qadam
pamal ho na jae sar-afraaz dekhna

meri nigah-e-khira dikhate hain ghair ko
be-taqati pe sarzanish-e-naz dekhna

tark-e-sanam bhi kam nahin soz-e-jahim se
'momin' gham-e-maal ka aaghaz dekhna
